Fusion - Amigo
Bottom line: Amigo is a relaxing comfortable environment with good, fresh food, but it’s the wines that will keep us coming back. Inside, its soothing colors and soft chairs provide an ideal venue to sample a bottle or two. The wine list is overwhelming, with a huge selection of fine wines for under ¥150.

The food is also very reasonably priced, with a weekly set menu that includes two courses for ¥60 and three for ¥80. The portions were quite small, but the food was healthy and tasty. We especially enjoyed the mushroom soup, and the grilled lamb chops with rosemary sauce were juicy and beautifully presented, while the pan fried chicken picada could have been improved with a little more cheese. After a delicious two courses, we were a bit disappointed in the average dessert offerings, but luckily a separate bakery counter offers delicious muffins (¥8) and banana bread (¥18/loaf).
